But this little 13" beauty hit one of my river darters. This is a flathead catfish. At least 10 miles from the confluence with the Susquehanna and not that far from the trout waters of this wonderful trib.

Those things are real invaders. I'm surprised too! that is their nature. I have read about chasing them in small steams and rivers, I didn't expect it until they had established in the river though. I don't suppose that you released it?FM

Just an FYI, the river water level and color has been good since Sunday and the post spawn female bass are feeding heavly above the closure area. I can't figure out myself where all the chocolate milk is comming from on Penns Creek. You would think it has to turn green sometime soon.

That's crazy!! Thanks for posting! Flatties have been our go to fish this time of the year on the Juni. They have been a pleasant bonus plus they are great eating. The bigger the fish the better they taste.
